Overview
Built for anglers who want precise sonar control while covering more water, this motorized pole is designed to work with LiveScope and GT360UHD transducers sold separately. Its smart control modes let you scan a full 360 degrees, run automated back-and-forth searches, or hold sonar on a fixed point with point-locking control. Direction changes can be managed wirelessly through a foot control, gesture remote, or compatible chartplotter, giving you flexible operation from the boat. It can be attached to a compatible Garmin trolling motor or mounted to the deck with a gunwale mount, and SpyLink mode adds synchronization with a Force Pro trolling motor for coordinated movement.

- Requires separate LiveScope or GT360UHD transducers, so the Spy Pole is only one part of the full sonar setup.
- Mounting to a boat deck requires a gunwale mount, which is not included.
- It is designed to work with compatible Garmin trolling motors and chartplotters, so compatibility should be confirmed before purchase.
- The motorized control and multiple smart modes add capability, but also make this a more specialized and higher-cost accessory than a basic transducer mount.
